Faith sees the unseen

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Heb. 11:39 ... And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

Joseph had faith that God would eventually deliver the children of Israel from Egypt.  The evidence of this faith came when Joseph asked them to take his bones with them when they left Egypt.

Genesis 50 ... And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 25And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence. 26So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

I have had 2 dreams which have not come to pass, but I know these dreams will come to pass.  By faith I know this.  But I may never see this happen but by faith I know it will happen and by faith I see it although it may not happen in my lifetime so I might not ever see it with natural eyes.  Faith sees the unseen and believes the unseen.

The dreams ... in one dream, the earth slipped on it's axis.  The politicians and scientist and religious leaders were meeting together to see what they could do about this.  A TV newscaster was giving a report about the event and he became so frightened he couldn't continue the TV newscast.

The other dream ... There was an established area of land.  All of a sudden one piece broke and slid away ... then another went ... then another ... then another.  And I heard these words:  "It will be alright through January but in February it will break loose.:"

By faith, I see the following happening ... II Peter 3:10 ... But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

The thing that intrigues me so much is "the great noise" ...  I think about this a lot, wondering what it will be like when that happens and even wishing I could hear that great noise.  I may not be here when it happens but by faith I imagine it.

Faith sees that which is unseen.  And the unseen can become so real by faith that it is more real than what we are currently witnessing with our natural eyes.  Thus faith overcomes that which can be seen.

(Faith is that which God speaks to us and that which God shows us.)
